Much of the work on Chillicothe High School's planned $1.4 million renovation at Hernnstein Field is complete, and on Monday, some areas of the complex were given identities.

The Chillicothe Board of Education Monday voted unanimously in favor of naming the complex as a whole the Obadiah Harris Family Athletic Complex. The home side bleachers will be known as the Joyce Atwood Grandstands, while the press box will be named the Bill Riley Press Bbox. The south end, home-side finish line for the track will be named the Roy Brown Finish Chute.
